>What are the best examples people have come across of names that fit - or don't fit! - their owners' professions.
While not exactly on point, when I was a kid growing up in Northern Virginia, there were two brothers with last name Murphy, one was an OB-GYN, the other a mortician. Though at that time the doctor could not advertise, many people knew that their preferred slogan was "From the womb to the tomb with the Murphy brothers."
A fired of mine who went to UNC law school a few years before my wife went there swore that there was a trio of law students trying to find a fourth with a particular name so they could form the law firm: Finder, Binder, Raper and Lever. I suspect it was the third they couldn't find.
